Long story short--the project's dead in the water. In December 2020, one of the owners, Ned, admitted that the money from the project was long gone and that they considered LHD a "failed business". He said they were looking at options for factories to produce the sets (although they planned to keep hand-making the dice in the meantime), but didn't provide any information about that process or how it was going.
People were kind of understandably upset, and imo it didn't help that Ned was treating a lot of questions as an unreasonable interrogation. Despite saying that they were continuing to hand-make the dice at home, there's been no visible progress on that front. The last update post was in September 2021, and it's been radio silence ever since.
The text of the update posts under the cut for posterity:
A couple people have asked what's up with LHD so I figured I'd dig this up and update:
After the Sept 2021 post, there was a long silence of almost a year, until an update came on June 7, 2022. In a post on their facebook business page, Ned (the co-owner) reported that they'd be pursuing "less tumbled" dice somewhere between the sharp-edged ones their brand was known for and traditionally manufactured dice. That news was (understandably) not taken well by the backers, and ten days later, he posted again walking back that decision. Instead, he said they were in the process of ordering samples and finalizing details for their preferred manufacturer.
There have been no further updates since June 17, 2022.
